It is the largest display of new law enforcement equipment & training being made available for LE/Military. I'll be wearing a Running Code 3 logo shirt and lanyard. I look forward to meeting any Running Code 3 readers. Trey​Running Code 3 is published by a 42 year veteran Texas law enforcement official, Artre "Trey" Rusk.​Trey worked dispatch, corrections, patrol, criminal investigation, training and management. He retired as a Lieutenant from TABC as well as a criminal investigator on the Galveston County Auto Crimes Task Force where he was assigned by Pct. 4 Galveston County Constable and long time friend, Jerry Fisher. ​This web-site is dedicated to First Responders and their families. Police Officers, Firefighters, EMS, and the U.S. Coast Guard. ​These are the people that run toward danger as most are running away. These are the same people that are criticized by agitators and fake news outlets for making split second decisions in defense of others.

To My Readers,

"I believe in God, family and treating others the way I would like to be treated. I own firearms and think a good guy with a gun trumps a criminal with a gun. I think teaching children right from wrong is good and giving a trophy for simply participating in an endeavor whether it be sports or scholastic is confusing our children. Competition and learning how to deal with accomplishment and failure builds character. A generation of parents listened to Dr. Spock for advice on raising their children. While his own grandson wound up committing suicide.

I believe in the Pledge of Allegiance and standing for our flag. I believe in gender equality. I don't believe in any form of racism. I know the Constitution of the United States of America was written for all citizens and should not be altered by our courts. I feel that our educators, military, police, firefighters, ems and nurses should be held in greater esteem.

I believe that the news media should be held criminally accountable for spreading propaganda or fake news stories in an effort to sway public opinion. This should also apply to social media that uses algorithms to contaminate the minds of subscribers. This should be called what it is, Brainwashing.

In closing, I believe that God has been systematically removed from our country. Merry Christmas is now Seasons Greetings and Political Correctness has run amuck. Is there a correlation between a society that has moved away from God and the increase in school shootings?

Maybe as a nation we should re-calibrate our moral compasses and use common sense for direction."
